Jon Hood has seen the number of suitors involved in his recruitment grow by at least one. A member of the Kansas coaching staff recently reached out to the 6-foot-6, 185-pound shooting guard from Madisonville (KY) North Hopkins High School. Hood spoke to Jayhawk Slant about his conversation with the member of KU's staff.

When it comes to his future, Hood, the No. 39 ranked player in the class of 2009, has plenty of options to consider. In all, Duke, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kansas, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Middle Tennessee State, Southern Illinois, Western Kentucky, Purdue, Illinois, and Indiana have all expressed a serious interest in the elite shooting guard.
